Just been looking at some of the pictures in a local tabac from the village during WW1, the devastation of the village was immense and it is often forgotten what the ordinary folk of France went through. Beautiful picture :)
It must have been a great day for the villagers but it was many months before the war actually finished and no doubt there were still very hard times after their liberation.
What a poignant photo for today's Silent Sunday.
